Good article talking about PRISM success

KATY "ROARS" AT RETAIL AND RADIO

PRISM, "Roar," "Dark Horse" and the Marketplace

February 27, 2014

You know she’s got the eye of the tiger and the bling of Cleopatra, but how’s Capitol’s Katy Perry doing in the marketplace?

In a word: Strong.

In the 19 weeks it’s been at retail, Perry’s PRISM has left the Top 10 only once. The album has been certified platinum both as a standalone (it’s currently at 1.2m) and in pure TEA—having furnished singles, including two #1 smashes at Pop radio—accounting for more than 10m tracks sold).

Speaking of those singles, "Roar" has moved more than 5m tracks in the U.S. since release. Globally, the song has sold 8.6m tracks and earned 425m audio and video streams.

Follow-up "Dark Horse," currently enjoying its third week as the #1 song at Pop radio, has moved more than 3.5m singles domestically and 4.2m worldwide, and has roosted at or near the top of the iTunes singles chart for months. In the five days since its release, the song’s video has commanded more than 30m video views worldwide. It’s also #3 on our most recent Shazam chart. "Unconditionally," meanwhile, adds another 1m U.S. downloads and 1.5m worldwide to the tally, not to mention 70m views RTD.

She holds the Top 2 all-time weekly spins at Mediabase Top 40 with "Roar" and "Dark Horse," and is the only artist ever to appear twice in the all-time Top 10 totals.

"It’s truly been an amazing global effort," says label EVP Greg Thompson. "Katy’s core team came into the process and inherited the power and muscle of her new family, the global UMG family, and you can see the results of that. We've worked well with her management. Katy herself has also connected more deeply—and widely—with fans. She really understands social networking; she’s really active and it’s all authentically from her. If she’s not the hardest-working artist I’ve ever seen, she’s one of them."

Perry’s busy schedule has had her crisscrossing the globe; U.K. dates precede her U.S. arena jaunt, which runs from June to September). Ticket sales are reportedly a blowout, so maybe she can finally buy that pyramid she’s had her eye on.

[brener]

US artists end up promoting their albums (unwittingly) in Japan rather than individual singles due to the fact that they don't release physical singles there and it's hard for foreign artists to sell more digital downloads than japanese artists. Dark Horse feat. TEE likely will affect PRISM sales, not Dark Horse digital downloads. Furthermore the release pattern of a foreign artist (single-album-single-single-single +) allows the album to always be spotted in Japan when its sales begin to decrease. And yet there's the promo thing, foreign artists travel to Japan to promote their stuff there, participate in music festival, meet fans at the airport...

It was nice of her to sing with a japanese rapper for the japanese version!
Sweet.

[brener]

yeah, she does care a lot with her fans, this week after singing at that japanese music festival she flew to australia to announce her australian tour dates, meet some fans and give some interviews at local radio stations.

[TeamAyu2004]

wow. this didnt get a lot of love in japan, did it?
I wonder if she is pretty popular?

[brener]

She is trying to get more of their attention on this era, she did tv lives this year, featured in a music festival and even released a version of a single with a Japanese rapper...
